Thanks for the welcome; this is one of my favorite threads. I actually didn't notice the "divi" in my name until after I'd already registered it. Started out as VeniVidiVici... I was just kidding about the EvilOverlords, but this stock does appear subject to major pressure around options expiration. Is it possible that the decline the day after earnings were announced simply started out that way but snowballed into a free-fall after the big buyers from the day before got spooked? Kind of a butterfly effect, small perturbations leading to wildly different outcomes. Seems like bad timing to issue earnings the day before the 3rd friday, but what do I know. D*mmit Jim, I'm a software engineer, not a financial genius... just look at my portfolio :((.
